The invention provides a polymerizable liquid crystal composition. The polymerizable liquid crystal composition comprises one compound, which comprises at least two polymerizable groups in a general formula I, used as a first component; one chiral compound, which comprises at least two polymerizable groups in a general formula II, used as a second component; a compound, which at least comprises one polymerizable group in a general formula III, used as a stabilizing agent; and a compound, which at least comprises one polymerizable group in a general formula IV, used as a light initiating agent. The polymerizable liquid crystal composition is high in compatibility, high in anti-yellowing property, and can be applied to the fields of flat panel display, flexible display and other optical films. The invention also provides an application of the polymerizable liquid crystal composition to the optical films.
